twirls.

first, this skirt is my favorite. second, i'm so glad i own and am able to operate a sewing machine. i thrifted this baby last year because i think it's impossible to have too much chiffon in my life, and because it's my favorite color. the only problem was that i could have fit two of me in it, so i actually considered not getting it because i've finally been honest with myself in these situations and realized that the chances of me actually making the necessary alterations are slim to none. but i promised myself i would alter this one (and i actually did it pretty quickly!) and now i can't imagine not having it!

in other news, because my toes are still broken (i'm one of those people who thinks things can just immediately heal because i want them to, but unfortunately it's never worked) i'm still not able to run, and i'm about to go crazy. BUT, since i feel like there is no other exercise like running and i'll go up at least 8 sizes without doing it, i've really been trying hard to eat healthier (and less) since about the only thing i can do that doesn't hurt is ride a bike. so my point is, i gave up coca-cola almost three weeks ago. it's a feat i never in a million years thought i'd tackle, BUT I DID! and i'm not even jonesing! now if only my willpower could heal my toes...

Also - I've had a fractured sesamoid bone (in the foot) for almost a year. I've just started running again, slowly. I'm sorry your willpower can't will your toes healed. But a big congrats on kicking the Coca-cola habit!

I am so glad you bought this skirt too. It looks like it was made for you (clearly it was, since you altered it to your body. But I still had to say that). I have never been into soda but I have heard people basically detox from it. Congratulations on succeeding! :)

thank you! i did try running...unsuccessfully. well, the first time i was running from a snake, and i'd do that even with broken legs! but the second time was a trial run and i realized i still have some recovery time. boo.

That green skirt is a great find and you did a great job on it. I love green too. I have too many green things but that's fine with me. Alternating stopped me from buying this thrifted skirt. It was one inch too big. I know that I would not have the skill to know where to start ripping seams apart. But there is always my mom, who sews well...

twirl it gurl! love that skirt and you did a great job mending it! yay you! i always have to really really consider a piece like that because the likelihood of my actually fixing is pretty much unlikely but once in a great moon i will actually get something fixed and it is pretty awesome! hope your toes heal super fast so that you don't go crazy! don't go crazy, k?xoxoxoxoxo,cb

That skirt is really adorable and looks like a ton of fun to twirl in. I love how your birdie stayed on your head for the ride, too. Hopefully he doesn't suffer from motion sickness? Hope your toe feels better soon!
